INSTANT POT TERIYAKI BEEF

Ingredients
2 pounds of sliced beef, pork or chicken. I used a strip roast that I cut into thin slices. 
1 cup of water 5 TBSP of packed brown sugar.
 Or less- I like mine less sweet but my family likes it sweeter. So the decision is yours 🙂
1 Large garlic clove minced.
1/2 tsp grated ginger or powdered ginger.
2 tsp honey.
2 TBSP cornstarch.
1/4 cup water.

1 cup of water and
1 cup or rice if you want to make it in the ceramic pot. As well as any veggies you would like to add.

DO not add the cornstarch and 1/4 cup of water in the beginning when you put the ingredients into the pressure cooker on saute. You are going to make a slurry to thicken the sauce with them. A slurry is a mixture of a thickener like cornstarch or flour and a liquid like water that gets whisked together and added to thicken a dish.

Directions:

NOTE: I hate the saute selection except to thicken at the end. I use a stovetop pan for browning.

Turn your pressure cooker or instant pot on to saute mode. This allows you to bring the liquid to a boil and make your sauce. I love this setting for browning or precooking meat in the Instant Pot.

 Add all of the ingredients except the 1/4 cup of water and 2 TBSP of cornstarch.

Whisk it all together. Continue to stir occasionally until the temperature comes up and it is getting thick. Once it is thick, turn the pot off.

Add your meat and give it a stir to coat the meat in the sauce. If you want to add veggies you can do it now.

 If you want to make rice in the ceramic cooker, put the stand into the meat.

Add 1 cup of rice and 1 cup of water into the ceramic cooker and put the silicon lid on top. Put it in the metal lifting rack. Place into the pressure cooker. Put the lid on and turn it on to manual pressure mode.

Set the time for 20 minutes. Make sure it pressurized correctly and then wait for your food to be done.
